My first proper Earthquake!

 Last night at 3.07am was woken to everything moving, bedroom cupboard door rattling and general WTF moment! This is my first really quake, the previous one I had felt while I was offshore in Qatar, but thought that was just the crane driver being a bit rough with a load landing. Last nights was different, the whole place was shaking and lying it bed it felt really weird last a good 20+ seconds I would have guessed. Turns out it was a Magnitude 6.6, located around 48Km WNW of Polis, off the west coast of Cyprus. At least no damage here and everyone fine. Eldest daughter thought it was 'so cool', think that was her first experience of one as well. Full details can be found at: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000gaqu/executive

GoPro camera fell of the ATV.

I was out for a run on the ATV and was on a really rough dried out river bed and the GoPro fell off the bike. I was using a sticky mount, it had been attached for a couple of months.

I didn't notice it was gone until a few kilometres up the riverbed.

We back tracked to try and find it but no joy.

After another 7 hours or so, and having been up the Troodos mountains to the top of Mount Olympos, we found ourselves back at the same river bed, so decided just to have a look by chance to see if we could remember where we went and stumble across the camera.

There is was lying on the stones....how lucky was that!

It was intact, no damage and even recovered the footage of it coming off!



So, now I have changed the mount to a handlebar mount on the rack and also put a secondary tether, just in case something snaps!
